Classic Game Shows Trivia Quiz

Answer: "Password Plus"

In Alphabetics, the celebrity gave the contestant clues to ten passwords in alphabetical order. The contestant had to guess all 10 passwords in 60 seconds to win the $5,000 prize.

Answer: Cliffhangers

Cliffhangers involves a contestant bidding on three prizes. For every dollar away the contestant is to the actual retail value of the prize, the climber (known as Fritz, Hans, and Johann on different versions of "TPIR") climbs one notch up a mountain. If the contestant's three bids are together over $25 away from the actual retail values, poor Fritz falls off the cliff and the contestant loses.

Answer: "Supermarket Sweep"

Known as "The Sweep", this frantic round saw three teams racing through a supermarket to buy the highest priced groceries they could find. Contestants had as much time as they had earned in previous rounds. The team with the most expensive groceries won the game and went on to play for $5,000.
